Not only ForEachTiddlerPlugin, but also InlineJavascriptPlugin dependent scripts can retrieve the values in all 4 cases from chosen tiddlers and create specific output, for example in tables.. However, there isn't as much documentation as with ForEachTiddlersPlugin. > But I really am not sure about custom fields yet, even after reading: > http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_custom_tiddler_fields > It looks as simple as modifying the edit and view template to add > lastname, firstname, and contactinfo and those fields would appear on > every tiddler in the file, making a phonebook (yes, I know about > twab). Am I understanding this correctly? Yes. For quick creation and editing of custom fields FieldsEditorPlugin comes also very handy: http://visualtw.ouvaton.org/VisualTW.html#FieldsEditorPlugin Costom Fields also have the advantage or disadvantage to be able to be retrieved even if the tiddler text itself is encrypted.
